Millioudodinium aichmetes
Millioudodinium achimetes (Sarjeant, 1966) Stover and Evitt, 1978
Now Cribroperidinium. Originally Gonyaulacysta, subsequently Millioudodinium, thirdly (and now) Cribroperidinium.
Holotype: Sarjeant, 1966, pl.13, figs.5-6, text-fig.30; Jan du Chêne et al., 1986, pl.20, fig.6-7
Locus typicus: Shell West Heslerton Borehole No 1, Yorkshire, England
Stratum typicum: Late Barremian
Original diagnosis: Sarjeant, 1966, p.123-124: Gonyaulacysta achimetes
A Gonyaulacysta with ovoidal to broadly ellipsoidal theca and strong, tapering apical horn accounting for about one-sixth to one-seventh of overall length. Tabulation 4", 1a, 6"", 6c, 6""", 1p, 1"""". Crests delimiting plates represented by low ridges, minutely serrate; those bordering cingulum higher. Cingulum strongly spiral, of moderate breadth; sulcus sunken, broad, with only short epitractal section. Surface of shell densely granular; granulation less pronounced on sulcus.
Dimensions: Holotype: overall length 101 Ám breadth 64 Ám (minimum); shell length 84 Ám breadth 56 Ám (minimum); length of horn 16 Ám; width of cingulum c. 4.5 Ám. Range of dimensions: overall length c. 95-105 Ám, breadth c. 55-65 Ám.
